Today, we went to Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden for the Orchid Festival.
Let’s see how long this orchid lasts.

Mmmmmm…… Hamachi Kama. Tonight we hit up CoCo Asian Bistro for a farewell dinner for a dear friend. He is moving away for awhile and although I know we will most likely always keep in touch, he will still be missed. And yes, I’m pouting about it, so there, J ;p Come back unless you find your dreams.
We had one of our new friends we met through the Shoot Miami Meetup group over for a collaborative dinner.
The Spread
Apps
Home made duck prosciutto (more on that soon… I made it as part of Charcutepalooza and suffice it to say, it was a huge hit)
Bacon jam (made with my very own home made bacon, no less)
Goat cheese
Slow roasted tomato jam (also coming soon. I’m a bit behind) served with toasted flour tortilla chips.
Mains
Chris’s fantabulous grits with a slow-cooked ragout of mini sweet peppers, white onions and chipotle topped with batons of home made bacon
Kevin’s awesome lamb stuffed with herbs & garlic with a garlicky tzatziki sauce
Pitas & sundried tomato tortillas for wrap making
The meal was a complete success and I predict this is just the first of many future collaborations. 🙂
